I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

Heres a google drive folder filled with art book pdfs, if anyone has some others that you'd like me to add to it thats missing, please let me know and send me the link

A comic to try and sort through some difficult feelings about being an artist and a reminder to not forget who you are.

friendly reminder that findtags is the best way to search tumblr’s absolutely destroyed tag system. it actually accurately looks through the tags without omitting results. it’s the only thing i use at this point because it’s the only thing that works

The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.

I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.

I fucking love him

i can imagine this guy’s voice very clearly in my head but i couldn’t put a name to it 

He also jabs racists in the eye!

I love the justice grandpa of fists

I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.

He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.

Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!

He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!

Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.

He said fuck the police!

He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.

He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.

He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.

You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!

And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.

I have a new role model

“justice grandpa of fists”

It’s nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon that’s NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.

Hes like the personification of motherfucker unlimited

Reblogging this newer version of this thread with so many more strips I haven’t seen…why did this character ever disappear. Where did you go, Everett.

we need him more than ever…

An cover art of my newest fanfiction because I am physically incapable of controlling myself. It was fun comparing this to my older artworks though and drawing parallels to this piece here.

read the prologue in the following links!

I’m open for commissions. 

-dunks this here and run far, far away- bye.

You know, some of my favorite fics are abandoned.  And yeah, I wish they weren't  abandoned, but it doesn’t change the fact that I love them.  I certainly don’t wish they’d never been written.  Just saying, for those of us with dangling fics we guilt ourselves over.  It’s still better that you wrote what you wrote.

Yes!!! And even if you never plan to continue, please leave it on. Don’t delete it. (Unless you want to) I keep rereading some unfinished fics every few months, they are some of the best. I love them so much! Thank you all for writing, however much you managed!

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

dude.

$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.

Okay so people are acting like Sessrin happening is totally okay as if that isn’t Literal Pedophilia.

Let’s do some smashing of their arguments!

1. “The age of consent in Japan is 13!!” Okay… no, not in the way you’re thinking. A thirteen year old can consent to another thirteen year old. A thirteen year old cannot consent to someone, say, 19 years old. This is not even factoring in that, just like the Untied States have different consent laws in different states, Japan has different consent laws in different prefectures.

2. “It’s the Fedual Era!! People had families young all the time!!!!” Again…. no. That was done in noble families, and only done in extreme cases. Do you want to know why? Because a fourteen year old girl rarely, in *our modern times* can carry a baby, a SINGLE baby to term. Either the girl will die, the baby will die in the womb, the baby will be born prematurely and risk extreme health problems, or the baby AND girl will die.

Why is that the case? Periods are a sign of puberty. It means that the body is undergoing the changes to become a fully formed adult. Periods are a early-to-mid sign of puberty. Yes, she has eggs and can be impregnated, but a good portion of her body isn’t ready in the same way as her reproductive system. Puberty ends around the age of 16 for girls.

“Oh so it’s okay if Rin gets pregnant at 16?” No! Because mentally, the brain doesn’t mature until the age 25.

“Then why can people do x at 18?!” Because the government decided they could. 18 usually signals that the body has matured, and matured bodies are GREAT for war. The general idea is ‘if we can go to war at 18, why can’t we do x?’ Even then, there are some things, like Alcohol, that require being aged 21 (in the United States).

3. “Rin wanted this!!” Yeah, and you know what else kids want at her age? To play and have fun. Think about what YOU were doing at age 13. Were you having sex with a man way older than you? If you were, I’m incredibly sorry for you and your experiences.

But let’s explore how Rin “wanted this”. Sesshomaru saved her life. He was a driving factor in how she overcame her trauma. He had /power/ over her. If he told her to walk off a cliff, she would. Why? Because she absolutely trusts him. She would never question why he’s telling her to walk off a cliff, because it never crosses her mind that he might want to hurt her.

“That’s not the same thing” it’s an allegory.

Now, oftentimes pedophiles will go into positions of power where they have unrestricted access to young children, and where they’re unlikely to be questioned. Boy/Girl Scout leaders. Youth Ministers. Priests. Police. Teaching. Am I saying that everyone who takes up this role is a pedophile? No! Absolutely not! BUT. These are some of the most common positions infiltrated by pedophiles because it makes children trust them, it makes parents less likely to scrutinize their actions, and they’re normally well liked by the community.

So. Sesshomaru was her caretaker. She trusts him absolutely. What he says must be right and okay. After all, he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her, right?

Why are you putting the responsibiliy of the relationship on RIN? Why aren’t you asking WHY Sesshomaru wanted this? Why are you bending over backwards to justify this?

Rin was 18 when she gave birth. Yashahime still made sess look like a callous asshole but still. Towa is a zoomer in yhe year of the dark lord 2020, the og series ended its timeline in 2000. So if towa is 14 in 2020 thatd mean she was born in 2006, and because we know time flows at the same rate between wras, Rin would have been 12, due to the fact she spent several months with sesshomaru , and would have been 9-ish before the theee years kagome took away fromThe feudal era for achool. Add on 6 years and thats equal to 18, and thats if we go by her commonly accepted age of eight. But she was an orphan peasant and could have appeared younger than she was due to malnourishment. Like i seen people estimate her at 10 or eleven pre-timeskip due to this fact

Hi! You are so wrong!

Rin is confirmed to have been 8 at the series start.

Kagome stayed in her time for three (3) years. Not the six you are claiming.

So. Kagome is 15 at the start, and 18/19 when the series ends (we actually have no clue about timelines in the original! Rumiko was terrible at them, and Kagome’s birthday is still debated, though it’s commonly agreed to be a spring birthday).

Rin is 11, at the series end. Eleven. Years. Old.

Towa, Setsuna and Mohora are all the same age, 14.

Kagome is supposedly 39 during Yashahime. Rin would be 31 then, right?

31 - 14 = 17.

That’s not 18, like you claim.

Even still! This is assuming that Kagome’s age is correct during Yashahime! Rumiko is terrible with timelines! Awful!

Rin still cannot consent to this relationship, even if she was “legal”. What to know why?

Grooming. Some people are smart with their pedophilia. They wait until their victim is “of legal age” and publicly initiate a relationship.

“But Sesshomaru left her in the village with Kaede!” A pedophile doesn’t need 24/7 access to their victim. And it’s clearly shown that he can come and go whenever he pleases, and that he gives her gifts when he visits.

Imagine. You’re a child. This man has saved your life countless times. Brought you back from the dead, twice. He fed and clothed you. He was the first adult in your life who took proper care of you. He’s left you with someone else, but he still comes by and brings you gifts. You trust him. If he wants a few secrets between you two, and only you two, well, that’s fine right?

This is going under the assumption that Sesshomaru didn’t fall in love with Rin until she was 17, they got married, and had children all in the same year.

That’s a very fast burn for a romance, don’t you think?

Okay so people are acting like Sessrin happening is totally okay as if that isn’t Literal Pedophilia.
